Risking Life and Limb

This liberticious (I made that up) man was nearly the subject of a Guest Blogger post. On our way to Marengo, (Lynn drove) we pulled up at a stop next to the tax reminder man. If only I had time to toss him a ball of yarn....
however to do so would have infuriated the traffic behind us. I will stop at something, you see.

While we are on the safety subject. Have you heard the saying: Pull to the Right for Sirens and Lights? Another ambulance got hit by a car in a nearby community this week during some snowy weather. This is every fireman's nightmare.
So pass it on. Pull to the RIght for Sirens and lights. THis means, if you are in the left lane, and all the cars next to you are in the right lane pulled over, KEEP DRIVING with the ambulance behind you, until you have the opportunity to pull right. Dont just stop in the left lane. It is simple, but even I freeze up when the trucks are coming and Im driving with them behind me. Oh, Im soapboxing now. Not really, am I? Just trying to make some sense of it for others.

And whichever way your taxes went, remember it is just money. You can make more tomorrow. (and then by more yarn)

Great little rhyme and great Public Service Announcement. My dad drives an ambulance, and it's true - not everyone pulls aside like they should.

It would have been SOOOO cool to have the Tax man as your guest! You have to get him one day!

That was one of the first things I taught Mandy when she first starting driving last year. We had to file an extension so I still don't know if we get money back or not (keeping my fingers crossed for the positive...the government gets enough of our $$$).

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
